In contradiction to another comment, dry weight ounces and liquid volume ounces are equivalent for pure water. It is not a coincidence that the word "pint" (i.e. 16 ounces of liquid) and "pound" (i.e., 16 ounces of weight) sound almost the same.

1 once of water weighs exactly 1 ounce under standard conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.), so unless you need multi-decimal digit accuracy, you can use that as a rule. Soda will weigh slightly a little bit more than water due to the ingredients dissolved in its water, but that too is negligible.

Therefore, 20 ounces of soda weigh about 20 ounces (or 1 pound, 4 ounces or 1.25 pounds). The bottle or can weight will differ, but would probably be in the range of 0.5-1 oz. or 0.03125-0.0625 lb.
